About My Library: I love mysteries! My favorites are historical, Golden Age, and English police books. I love funny mysteries, but anything too cute or full of quirky characters turns me off.

I also enjoy non-fiction books, although I get most of these from the library. I like science, cookbooks, history, and nature writing.

I'm a big Brandon Sanderson fan, but I love lots of different fantasy books. I'm also into science fiction. I'm a big fan of several fantasy writers and I'm always looking for another good series.
And I still read picture books!

Hope that tells you something about me. I'm a fast reader, but I love to reread my books. So I keep all my favorites. Any books I wasn't completely in love with will wind up being donated. So my ratings are skewed, since I only keep the books I loved. You can also find me on Good Reads and The Storygraph.
About Me: I'm a busy mom who reads as a form of therapy. I have adult children at home and 2 cats. I met my husband at university. We've been married for 32 years.
I learned to read when I was in a car accident as a 4 year old. I was stuck in a body cast with nothing to do. So I watched Sesame Street, and somehow, those letters all turned in to words. I've had a book on hand ever since. (usually more than one!)

Besides reading, I like to watch mysteries on TV, as well as cooking shows, Nature, and science shows. I also like to craft and listen to music. I'm really interested in alternative health and my religious faith. I'm also into quilting and I'm working on writing my first YA book.

So Hello already!
